[4] With so many diurnal species recorded, comparative analysis studies using newer lineages of gecko species have been done to study the evolution of diurnality.
Humans are normally diurnal creatures that are active in the daytime. As with most other diurnal animals, human activity-rest patterns are endogenously regulated by biological clocks with a circadian (~24-hour) period.

The lines are not unique to humans and can be observed in other non-human animals with mosaicism. [10] [11] Alfred Blaschko is credited with the first demonstration of these lines in 1901. [12]
